Role of Memory in School Success (part 1)
Memory plays a key role in students’ success in school. In this two-session we examine memory from two points of view: the typical memory demands made on students in school and what it is like for a student who struggles with some aspect of memory. Participants will learn about some of the mind’s systems for taking in and storing information, and making it available as needed.
